I'm a new user to SETI@Home, and Boinc in general. So Im still on the learning curve. The program was running perfectly until a few days ago, during the powerdown, my computer stopped receiving new tasks or being able to send the tasks it had worked on. Which makes sense to me.

Now since the server powerdown is over, it has sent the completed tasks, and does not get any work in the mean time. I have tried updating several times, and one time I got a single task in return to work on. I have tried resetting the project but that never worked. I have also tried deleting and re-adding the project but that hasn't worked either.

As with any outage for SETI@Home, as soon as the systems come back up, the servers are inundated with over 500,000 clients trying to return work and request more. You are not doing anything wrong on your end; you simply need more patience! :-D

As long as the splitters have work, and there are no other server problems, things should be normal now. Still, there are thousands of computers requesting work, and only 100 workunits available at any particular moment, so it's always a bit of a crapshoot.

That being said, I've received close to 4000 new workunits on my three rigs over the last 48 hours.

You should also check your settings given that you're using version 7.xx of BOINC. The proper setup for cache building changed dramatically from v6.xx to v7.xx

Normal time is between two and three days, provided nothing decides to play games, and caches aren't too empty.

This means that the client has no tasks to report from S@H, and has enough work in the queue from other projects (Rosetta in your case) that it does not need any tasks from S@H at the moment or it means that S@H has gotten more than its share of recent work. I believe that the second is not the case here. Once some of these have been worked through, it will ask for work from S@H in preference to Rosetta for a time to make up the some of the time that S@H has not had work.
